The neighbours rushed both women to the hospital, where the sister was declared dead on arrival.

A shocking incident has shaken everyone in Uttar Pradesh, where an engineer allegedly stabbed his twin sister over 40 times. He even attacked his mother. This prompted the neighbours to rush the two women to the hospital, where the sister was declared dead on arrival.

A 25-year-old engineer was held for allegedly stabbing his twin sister 40 times.

An engineer, 25, was held for allegedly stabbing his twin sister 40 times over a dispute at their mother’s home in Moradabad district on Friday last week. The accused is identified as Hardik, who also attacked his mother, Neelima, following which he fled the scene. After rushing the two women to the hospital, the sister, Himshikha, died, but the mother survived. Hardik was apprehended after a brief manhunt. Superintendent of police (SP), City Moradabad, Kumar Ranvijay Singh, said an interrogation was underway. The accused’s mother told police, “Earlier they shared a loving relationship, but his behaviour had suddenly changed. She tried to support him, but he ended up taking her life.”

The accused was allegedly under stress and suffering from depression.

Hardik, the accused, was allegedly under stress and suffering from depression, and his mother, in a statement, told the police that his behaviour had changed in recent months. Neelima, in her statement, said Hardik was in a relationship with a girl from another community in Pune and wanted to marry her. However, both she and his sister had opposed the match, leading to a dispute between the three. The siblings had travelled from Gurugram, Haryana, to their mother’s rented house in BuddhiVihar, Sector 2, on March 3 to celebrate Holi. They were supposed to return on Friday when an argument broke out between them, police said.

Hardik allegedly turned on his sister Himshikha with a knife, stabbing her more than 40 times on the neck, face and other parts of the body,” the police said, adding that the accused thereafter wrapped the body in a blanket. He then drove to his mother’s workplace to bring her home. When Neelima arrived, she raised an alarm seeing her daughter’s body, following which Hardik attacked his mother too and fled the scene.
